Fligth C Chipleader Yuan Yu

Flight C of Event 2 is in the books with Yuan Yu leading the field of 73 survivors with 412,000 in chips (103 big blinds).

Action ended with 22:08 remaining in Level 15, with blinds at 2,000-4,000 and a 4,000 ante. Day 2 will begin with blinds at the same point as the starting flight that finished the earliest, and it’ll be tough to finish any earlier than this.

The full list of official chip counts will be posted later this evening, but here are the seven players who bagged at least 300K:

1.  Yuan Yu  –  412,000  (103 bb)
2.  Amaury Batista  –  369,000  (92 bb)
3.  Peter Vitantonio  –  350,000  (88 bb)
4.  James Weidenborner  –  327,000  (82 bb)
5.  Ernest Bush  –  321,000  (80 bb)
6.  Kevin Paustenbach  –  315,000  (79 bb)
7.  Giuseppe Iadisernia  –  303,000  (76 bb)

Flight D is already underway, and registration remains open until the start of Level 9 (9:30 pm).

Event 2 Flight C: Mario De La Puente Avenges Yesterday’s Bubble Bust to Win Today’s Bubble Hand

With 75 players remaining in the field, but no more than 74 advancing, the tournament staff announced that dealers should finish the hand in progress and then come to a stop.

In one of those hands, the player in the small blind was all in for roughly 10,000 with 8c3c, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the KdKc of Mario De La Puente in the hijack.

The board came As10c5dAcKs, and the small blind turned a club flush draw, but De La Puente rivered a full house, kings full of aces, to win the pot and eliminate his opponent to burst the Money Bubble.

Ironically, De La Puente was the unfortunate player eliminated on the Money Bubble in yesterday’s morning flight, so there’s a bit of redemption for him as he scores the knockout and bags a nice stack for Day 2 today.

While this was happening, there was another elimination at one of the other tables, leaving 73 players to bag chips for Day 2, where everyone will be in the money. (Players had to bag chips for Day 2 to finish in the money.)

Flight C is just about ready to hit the last level of the day with open registration and they tipped the entry count over 500 for the first time (but definitely not the last time) this tournament. The tournament will blast past the midpoint of the $1,000,000 guarantee this evening with four huge weekend flights to go.

More friends we found in the field include Zach Eichenbaum, Jeff Silverstein, Jaroslaw Osinski, and Dimitri Vorbe.

Vorbe holds a bit of historical relevance for this series; he was the first player to take home one of our award-winning Guitar Tower trophies for capturing the 2021 SHRPO Championship title.
